I have to admit this book in general is weird! A lot of the things caught me off guard at times such as when her dad was embalming a man and she had to go in to hand him a tool he needed the graphics and the irony in general from the reading caught me off guard as a whole. The way the graphics are used in this book allow me to really understand what the author is talking about. When describing the way her father was about the furniture in there home i found it funny when she said "I grew to resent the way my father treated his furniture like children and his children like furniture" I just found this a little funny but weird but reading up to this point it was true because her father seemed more concerned with the interior of the house rather then the relationships with his family. I also found her mother and fathers relationship to be very ironic and out of the ordinary until getting deeper into the story and seeing why. "These stray rents in the otherwise seamless fabric of their antagonism...were very nearly as unnerving as the antagonism itself." The authors use of descriptive words struck and really painted an even broader picture of the relationship between her parents.
